Turpial’s other features, which are not exclusive to this release, include: –

User muting

Image uploading

URL shortening

Tabbed and wide mode available

Proxy support

Niggles

Turpial does not support multiple accounts, and I’m fine with that as there are a bunch of capable clients already out there providing that.

It’s a bit sad to see no form of Ubuntu integration provided in this release; there’s no Unity quicklist/badge support, and no Messaging Menu entry. This lack of presence becomes an issue when, despite having ‘closed’ the application, you continue to receive notification bubbles and alerts. Clicking on the ‘Turpial‘ icon opens a new instance rather than recalling an already existing one.

My main peeve remains: Turpial 1.6.6 still requires you to open links within tweets via right-click – a ‘feature’ that many like, but I find an inconvenience.
